Testo Hello New Orleans Robert Earl Keen
Her hair was made of summer sunlight the moon lit in her eyes
Her voice would ride the wind at midnight across the starry skies
Love is blind thatâs what they tell me in all those magazines
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans
We talked about our lives together we talked about our plans
We walked through rain and windy weather across the shifting sands
She took the car thatâs how I know this ainât no crazy dream
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans
Iâll eat my fill of jambalaya and crawfish etouffe
Iâll drink the Mississippi dry, laissez les bon temps rouler
Iâll trade her memory in on one of those Cajun queens
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans
